Acidosis:

How about: "single but ready to consider a good man"?

agarawu23:



okay!
I will open a new thread on that when I am back from work today. Though it will be for below average guys who don't have much.

BridalAssistant:


Different strokes. But you can't tell some parents you only want 50 guests oh. Not when they have church members, club members, office colleagues, brothers, sisters, inlaws, neighbours to invite. They'll nod and say "ok". And the next thing you know, they've gone and printed their own IVs and turned your "small wedding" into a full-blown carnival with people who don't even know your name. Hahaha.

agarawu23:
that's my number 1 problem. My both parents do attend parties a lot especially their club members party and these people will want to be present In their occasion too. I am not exaggerating, if I am about to wed, we will be expecting close to 500-600 guest from my both parents not including my own guest o. I always make mouth that I don't want loud wedding but I doubt my dream on that can come through.

kevoh:

I understand the full-blown carnival thingy jare but not on my bill. I already told mumsy she's gonna be footing the bill of all those extra extra people she knows if they come. Good thing she knows and she's ready. Pure Edo woman with Yoruba owambe blood!

I knew what size my so called ''small introduction'' turned into last December, not going to make same mistake by being quiet when the wedding proper happens later this year. I have already started singing the song to every family member's ear. Make I hear peem, you foot the bill shikena!

BridalAssistant:


LOL. Well it usually is the norm for families to contribute towards the wedding. Particularly parents and uncles and aunts. And moreso where there's harmony and togetherness in said family.

Mystiqme:
Patient OP. Perfect for the job

BridalAssistant:


Would appreciate that. Thanks a lot.

Charleebro:
I honestly do wish I'll have someone like you to organize my wedding, when I'm ready. Your literary prowess, near perfect answers to questions posed and gentle online demeanour are second to none, especially in an industry like yours. I'll be sure to post your mail address to any of my 'comfortable(financially-speaking)' friends who wants to marry anytime soon.

PS: In contemporary Nigeria, I don't think your price is overexaggerated. Pretty decent!

No wedding venue cost included? No suit and bridal gown? I will throw all those in and still have change from the 900k.

My intention was never to look down on anybody. My response was written in light-hearted banter/ quirky humor. Apologies if it came across as tightly-wound or high-strung. Having said, the offer is for bargain prices FOR the listed services. Of course I realize that there are couples who would rather not hire professional vendors for some of the items I listed- folks who would rather have family members or friends do the job.

But for the items on the list, for an intending couple who wants to hire professionals to provide all the services stated, and considering the going rate of said items, the price is just right to be classified as a budget.

agarawu23:
link to bellanaija where your wedding was featured and your private picture to my mail to confirm. Seen is believing.

I am asking for much cos I noticed nlders preach what they don't practice.

BridalAssistant:

Thanks everyone. Keeping one's cool is a virtue that has to be honed in this industry. An events manager is the centre that holds everything together and she must never come unravelled. In preparing for any event and on the D-Day itself, many things will threaten your sanity and you just have to be of a quick wit to be able to keep it all together. Jega has got nothing on you if you know your onions as an events planner. Lol.

Besides, I was a Girl Scout in my younger years and one thing they constantly drummed into us was the motto "Be Prepared". Life will come at you from ANY direction imaginable and hit you below the belt when you least expect it. There should always be a plan B or even B- Z.
Thank you all for your critiques and contributions.

diva90:
I don't recommend offers like this to any couple that have money. If you have money, invest in quality because it's a once in a life time wedding. You can only imagine the quality of services that will be offered to you at such a budget. The cost of all these on a regular day at an average Lagos/abuja wedding of 350-400 guests is nothing less than 3 million. If you decide to have 500k wedding, you already know it's Fanta, Coke and zobo that your guests will be drinking.

I do not know about your cousin, if you read my post I said it based on my own "CLAN" experience. What I do know is if I spend 4million today on my wedding, I am optimistic that I'll receive 2million in cash gifts and other intangibles put together. Its all about the CALIBRE of people that attend your wedding. Morover, if you have parents or you are the type that always make sure that you attend any event of these rich people. When its your turn, they'll always reciprocate the gesture. I'm speaking from experience. When president jonathans daughter got married, didn't you read where she got over 80 luxury cars? Do you know the worth of 80 luxury cars? That's over 1billion naira! Will you tell me the couples spent over 1bn on wedding?
